Are they based off of the pokemon Quagsire? They’re so cute I wanna pinch them.
I think quaggans are gross there like mini whale people with wrinkly arms and legs…. I shutter at the thought if they were ever to become real lol

How can anyone not like a quaggan? :O
Good thing there are no speed boats in GW2 or it would be a Quaggan slaughter.

Quaggan sacrifice T_T
Oh and what about the etymology of the name? How did you guys decide on ‘quaggan’?
“They should all be destroyed.”

That should be in the best screenies thread.
From “The Making of Guild Wars 2”…
Pity the Quaggan
The manatee-like quaggan started as a joke, but ultimately turned into a species the design team wanted in the game. “We had a lot of races that you don’t feel a lot of empathy for, and we wanted something that would make you want to rescue it.” Coberly continues, “They’re a living race, and they’ve got weapons and a culture, but you feel for them and you want to protect them.”
The joke Coberly referred to was a creation Kotaki dubbed the Poobag. Kotaki explains, "I drew this cute little thing and called it a Poobag because that’s all it was good for. We couldn’t get the Poobags into the game because they were so stupid, so we changed them into the quaggan you encounter in the game.
Oh, now I have to..
SQUEEEEE! (it’d be longer than that, but I’m trying to remain somewhat dignified. Somewhat.)
I knew there was a reason one of my characters is walking for quaggan homelessness awareness .
Oooh Quaggans is cute Oooh
Make quaggan a playable race!
I myself are a bit torn on Quaggans. Some of them are cute and funny, but their slow speech can really grind my gears sometimes. Especially during the Quaggan part of the personal story, if you choose to help them out. On the other hand, I love the quaggan couple that’s been around during the living story and I think the design in general is quite cute, and the “dark side” they have (as in, becoming evil creepy fish monsters) when they get angry is an interesting little thing.
So yeah, I like quaggans as long as I don’t have to talk for them for too long I especially like the ones that are made to look like a killer whale.
I’m sort of ‘meh’ on Quaggans.
When I first encountered one, I’d actually drawn the ‘huh, a sea cow…with back legs’ conclusion. I don’t know why I thought it, I simply did. Having it confirmed just makes me chuckle.
Still, I don’t really like them or dislike them I guess. I’m just as happy killing one as I am helping one, just depends on what the game requires. I have a hard time empathizing with many of them… might be do to all the oooo and cooo and just ugh. That part of their speech makes me want to smack ’em.
I do find the 2 from the LS events cute and they make me smile though. I have to admit I actually looked for Bloomanoo and Peneloopee after LA got blown up, just to see if they made it out.
To me they are the Irrawady Dolphins heads with legs xD.
LOL that is so cute.. I wish we had a quaggan dance when we’re in quaggan form..
I always thought they were inspired by beluga whales o.O
They look so similar…
